This is fabulous and so cool worn as a top. I love the design story, too.With thanks to @xincinsin and continued wishes for recovery I am going to conclude the week with Brides de Gala. @Coco2606 started off with this design and @Croisette7 just added three to my wish list with her post of yesterday too! I love the symmetry, the iconic nature, the recognizable shapes always present in every iteration. So with the assistance of my small model and helper here are: BdG Finesse, Fleuries, Marble Silk, Perforé, Twilly Bayadere, Cotton Charm 70, Brides et Destin, BdGxColete, and finally BdG Shadow.

Daiske Nomura's design Brides et Destin is the latest "riff" on BdG. It depicts harnesses, and there are three rather than two, but there is no question of the reference to Brides de Gala. Here's the website description:
"Have you heard of Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos? They are the Moirai, three sisters from Greek mythology, three figures of destiny known to the Romans as the Parcae, and in English as the Fates: the Spinner, the Allotter and the Inflexible. They are generally associated with cosmic cycles, as well as with the goddesses of nature and fertility. Daiske Nomura has designed a harmonious composition with contemporary overtones based on harnesses adorned with insignias that he discovered in the Emile Hermès collection. Each equipped with their harness, the three sisters are set for a spiritual and vivacious ride." Of course it is Nomura, of C'est la Fete and Chorus Stellarum fame so this design also has his trademark reference to mortality...

This is a detailed, dramatic and versatile design. I very much like how it seems both contemporary and classic H! My twin @mktlim showed a lovely mod shot of hers this week. Here's mine worn as a top:

I have never seen Les Jouets and it's adorable.
A glorious parade of feathers and what a stunning design this was. Happy to be your twin on two.
All three are beautiful. I used to have the T-shirt version in gray but sold it as I found it challenging that it wasn't a square. And I always wanted a mousseline in this design. Before the formal twill, I had a bright orange one. Hopefully, the dog is appeased.Here are my 3 versions of Dallet’s Guepards - in 90 twill, t-shirt (is there an official name?), and 140 mousseline

Thanks @Maedi for identifying 2013 as the reissue year of the 90 twill! I need to find the issue year of the other 2. I don’t know the very 1st issue of the pattern (because I should have done my homework prior to posting but..my dog was mad that I was sporting cats..?
View attachment 5697661View attachment 5697662View attachment 5697663 The t-shirt version has a nice black contrast hem, as does the twill. I really like the green highlights, which are very clear on the t-shirt but much more subtle on the twill. The twill is not so photogenic shown flat, but quite crisp tied. The mousseline is frothy!
Beautiful scarf and beautiful beach hair. Enjoy Hawaii.
Wut?! You are right..it is not a square! It’s almost a square. I always thought it was a bit weird ..just assumed it was “stretchy.” I guess I never noticed because I don’t wear that on bias. I tend to just fold into rectangle. Wow. Who knew?
Is it just me or are there fewer dog scarves (than cat scarves...) Maybe because there is more variety in dogs’ appearances (sorry to cat moms..I’m sure there are lots of cat differences..my eye is not as well trained).
I sort of agree - I had to look really hard for dogs the last time we had the Year of the Dog, but I can pull out a big cat scarf really easy.
Let's see what pawsome canines appear in our next theme!
Happy Year of the Rabbit, everyone!

Wearing the duck-rabbit puzzle gav.
Great decoration ... and a sweet gav!
I love all of these @lanit-- and must try that very cool bandolier tie!
Thank you @EtsyBoss! I love your Brides et Destin cw-- strong contender for me until I had to come to terms with the fact that it had too similar a vibe to Brides Rebelles (twin with @lanit above) when tied... But it looks wonderful on you. Beautiful center colors
Magpie here, too @xincinsin -- in the club from an early age. Started with shells and sea glass...Magpies are birds with a reputation for filching shiny things. So if someone calls you a magpie, it means you are a voracious and omnivorous collector of all manner of things. I confess to being a magpieI collect pretty things
Oh my gosh, congratulations @Redbirdhermes! What a beautiful find and how gorgeous on you! Brilliant to pick out the purple stems in your sweater-- it lets the red bloom and the blue hem really shine...
OK! Thanks for the tease @Lellabelle and I know I am not alone in wanting to see this out of the box and around your neck!Well, I did a thing. An SE thing.
Pretty sure it’s on theme too, though a reveal will have to wait as it’s in the vault for valentines. Thankfully not too long to wait!
A little teaser, below, for my scarfie friends

I thought the same @EtsyBoss-- they do this so beautifully, this pair of artists: florals plus architectural scene=dreamscape. Retour is kind of like a CSGM version of A l'Ombre de Pivoines, which I believe was only ever a 90 and only 6 or so cws... And it is Los Angeles, in the distance on Retour apparently, according to Marsal!
I did! It was on my list from the get-go, as I have a weakness for mythological themes and Nomura's work! Thank you @Lellabelle-- that Petite Bib tie is very useful that way!
Ok, so you have officially moved beyond "correction" to Scarf Rehabilitation @Teaforparrots! Beautiful color on you-- not everyone can wear yellow so well!
Thank you @Croisette7! Wish list expansion is always a danger here (especially from your examples) and my little dog is very sweet!
The center of the yellow cw of Plumes en Fete has to be the most beautiful coloration! And the CSGMs are TDF @Croisette7. Beautiful match with your bangle...
I have been loving along many many pages everyone. Amazing posts!
So glad you found one in perfect shape. And I am a big believer in a beat around scarf. Since I only had my precious Samourais csgms, I bought a dark csgm for $300 to see how life was with wearing one more often in daily life. So I still get to protect my preciouuussssss ( golem reference)
This is perfection @Nomad-- the colors of the scarf, the sweaters, the tie-- gorgeous on you. And I chuckled over your concept of the "Practice CSGM" -- which is such a smart thing to do before investing in anything, really.
I am so jealous you have that gorgeous cw of Springs Springs @Lellabelle! Such beautiful colors and such an interesting design re-do. It also reminds me a bit of Perspective in the 3-D effect. I am happy to be twins on Les Mustangs -- I love it. A great homage done with humor, respect and whimsey. The pops of pink on the blue side are *chef's kiss* and the collar effect with that tie is wonderful.Sharing a little of my over zealous acqusition last season. Small pics, as the lighting is horrible! Both on theme as they are reimaginations of earlier classics. I don’t own either of the originals, pics are for reference only.
Rybaltchenko’s (second?) reinterpretation of Ledoux’s 1956 classic Springs, which gives us a literal new perspective on the historic design. I think New Springs was another of his, but there may be others. SOTD.

And Les Mustangs II, a reimagining by Ugo Bienvenu of the original Les Mustangs by Dallet. There have been a couple of reissues that I'm aware of, the pic below is from the ‘96 issue I think. Twins with Nola on the M2, which I hunted down after seeing her lovely mod pics

These are beautiful @essiedub! Like @Maedi I tried a t-shirt (jersey fluide?) and returned it because it was a rectangle! Just ever so slightly but it did throw things off... I love your mousseline...Here are my 3 versions of Dallet’s Guepards - in 90 twill, t-shirt (is there an official name?), and 140 mousseline

Thank you @Maedi-- and this Aloha DD is amazing on you. It just lights you up!
Congratulations on this beauty @leechiyong!
Thank you @Nomad-- just had to find a way to show more of the center!
Just wonderful decorations and your gav is absolutely adorable @xincinsin! Happy Year of the Rabbit!
The wheat field background on this is so beautiful and those bunnies! Lovely @Croisette7...
